Effect of Dietary Carbohydrate on Triglyceride Metabolism in Humans

“…When individuals reduce their intake of dietary fat, they frequently increase their intake of carbohydrate, and a common observation is that their blood concentration of triglycerides (TG)3 rises.

Limiting sugars AND starches (pasta, rice, beans, bread) will DRAMATICALLY lower triglycerides, typically below 60 or 70, even when eating plenty of 'horrid' animal fats. Animal fats have virtually nothing to do with high triglcyerides. It's starch and sugar. It's a classic, repeatable, almost universal effect of low carbohydrate diets. See Volek, Yancy, Westerman, Hays, and many many others. Somebody is mistaken here.
